Section 7668 Of Chapter 5. Termination Of Parental Rights In Adoption Proceedings From California Family Law Code >> Division 12. >> Part 3. >> Chapter 5.
7668
. (a) The court may continue the proceedings for not more than
30 days as necessary to appoint counsel and to enable counsel to
prepare for the case adequately or for other good cause.
(b) In order to obtain an order for a continuance of the hearing,
written notice shall be filed within two court days of the date set
for the hearing, together with affidavits or declarations detailing
specific facts showing that a continuance is necessary, unless the
court for good cause entertains an oral motion for continuance.
(c) Continuances shall be granted only upon a showing of good
cause. Neither a stipulation between counsel nor the convenience of
the parties is in and of itself a good cause.
(d) A continuance shall be granted only for that period of time
shown to be necessary by the evidence considered at the hearing on
the motion. If a continuance is granted, the facts proven which
require the continuance shall be entered upon the minutes of the
court.
